Book Description
FBI Agent Dillon Savich discovers that his sister owns four paintings, worth a million dollars each, that are at the heart of an intricate conspiracy in this New York Times bestselling thriller.
Download Description
After five consecutive New York Times-bestselling FBI novels, Catherine Coulter is a major player in contemporary suspense. "Her suspense thrillers seem to get better and better," exclaims the Midwest Review of Books. Hemlock Bay continues the streak. FBI Agent Dillon Savich is on a challenging case involving the kidnapping of two teenage boys, when trouble boils up in his personal life. His younger sister, Lily, has crashed her Explorer into a redwood in California's Hemlock Bay. Is it another suicide attempt, the second since the loss of her young daughter some seven months before? Savich and his wife and fellow agent, Lacey Sherlock, discover that four of Lily's paintings-left to her by their very famous grandmother, artist Sarah Elliott, and now worth millions-are at the heart of an intricate conspiracy. Lily and art broker Simon Russo are thrust into ever-widening circles of danger that radiate from a notorious collector's locked room. Dillon Savich and his sister, Lily, both have to face their worst fears to survive.

Not The Best of the Series.......2007-07-22
I really like Savich and Sherlock and reading about them. (I give it 3 stars just because it's about Savitch and Sherlock) I didn't care for this one as much as some of the others because so much was unrealistic. IF I wanted Science fiction I would read another author. THe whole Ghoulie thing was just ghoulish. :) Nothing real or realistic about that whole thing. THe FBI looked like bumbling idiots that they couldn't apprehend one one armed woman???? Then Lily takes her out. Good Grief! I have some problems also that Savitch and Sherlock both put themselves in harms way so often at the same time when they now have a son. Then there was Lily's story! At first I felt sorry for her. Then her chartacter turned into a smart mouth and put Simon down all the time. She kept trying to run everything. I just couldn't warm to her character even though she was Savith's sister. My criticism isn't so much about bad writing as the story line itself. As others have siad it left so many unanswered questions. I have read the series to this point and hope the next ones are better.
liked and disappointment.......2007-01-16
The book Hemlock Bay itself was good. I enjoy reading Catherine Coulter books. But, I order a hard back book and I received a paperback book. It was soiled but in fairly readable shape. I contacted you after I received it and was told by e-mail that you were going to send me a hard back copy, but it never came. I never heard from them again.
Worse than Juvenile.......2007-01-05
I have tried on several occasions to read Coulter's suspense novels. And I thought I'd bravely try one more time. Unfortunately, the outcome was the same: utter disappointment.
Don't assume 1 star implies any redeeming value in this book. Amazon simple didn't give an option to award zero stars.
I suppose I'll start with a pet peeve, and get it out of the way before critiquing the novel on more than just my personal likes/dislikes, so here goes: I don't like thrillers that deal with the torture of children. The first book I ever read by Dean Koontz dealt with this and he was forever off my list. There are some places I just refuse to go, and this is one of them.
The opening chapter of this book give us a band of merry FBI agents who can't backslap and high-five each other enough because they've caught a couple of serial killers just seconds before they attempt to kill their latest victims: two adolescent boys. Never mind that the kids will be emotionally scarred for life after the ordeal that Coulter conjures up for us. Never mind that real agents, no matter how jaded, would be physically sick to their stomachs and probably deeply introspective after observing such human cruelty. Nope. In Coulter's world, the FBI agents whoop it up, and the kids and parents skip away to live happily ever after. Need I say more?
OK. Rant finished. On with the review.
I have to agree with a previous reviewer (shereads) regarding one of the main problems I have with all of Coulter's novels: the dialog. It is ridiculously juvenile. Frankly, when I read true juvenile novels, like my son's "Guardians of Ga'Houle" series, or the "Maximum Ride" series by James Patterson, even though the books are aimed at young readers, at least the dialog reads like real people talk. They just use simpler words, fewer references to things that young reader's won't get, and the plots have fewer convolutions. But when it comes to dialog (and plots...we won't even go there), Coulter's books are impossible. The dialog is not only lame, but the way the characters respond to situations is almost always implausible, as I noted above in my pet peeve rant. Coulter is a master at conjuring up characters that cheerfully and consistently defy reality in their dialog, their emotions, and their responses.
So, if you are willing to regularly overlook these shortcomings in a novel, then Coulter's the author for you. If not, then you'd be better served to look elsewhere in this genre.
As to the plot of this book, I won't comment on it for two very good reasons:
1. Other reviewers have already done so quite adequately.
2. The dialog was so lame that I couldn't get past the second chapter.
I won't reiterate all of my other reasons for not liking Coulter's suspense novels (you can look up my review of her book "The Cove" if you need more evidence to avoid this author). I'll just say I've given her ample opportunity to prove herself as an author and she has been found seriously lacking.
Now I get it........2006-08-25
Finally, it clicks: the reason I liked Coulter's historicals but couldn't plow through even half of the last two contemporary suspense novels. (And I do mean the last.)
First and foremost, it's the stilted dialogue. Nobody talks like this, people; not in this millenium and not in the previous half-century, unless we count "See Dick run. Run, Dick. Run." In period novels, it's easier to suspend disbelief. But when the setting is here and now, the same style comes across as bad writing.
I wanted to like these books; I swear I did. Coulter's historicals filled many a rainy afternoon with what I thought was high-camp fun - a satirical take on the genre. Now I see that what I thought was satirical was not. The joke was on me.
BTW, when you have to describe a character as witty, she probably isn't.
Incredibly bad.......2006-08-25
The only reason I gave this book one star is because there is no zero level, as far as I can tell.
I was disappointed. I was annoyed. I was bored. I was irritated. Then I was impressed because if this could get published, ANYbody can get published.
There are, theoretically, two plots in this book. Neither plot ties in with the other. The second plot is so secondary that it is forgotten for chapters at a time by the author. I only wish we could have forgotten the main plot, and I use the word "plot" only as a point of reference.
ESP, mysticism, ghosts, real magic; a protagonist who could be a woman, or who could be a woman who can magically - yes, magically - turn into a man. Or really, we aren't sure. It's like at the end of the book, Coulter looked up, realized "gosh darn, end of the book already? I'd better slap together an ending!" and that's what we have. I actually wondered if my book had lost some pages, I was that confused and bewildered.
Also, we meet a character in this book who will return in another book in this series, a cousin of the serial killers Tammy and Tommy Tuttle (Tammy, of course, maybe being Tammy or possibly Tommy or Timmy or magically changing into Tommy or Timmy; we aren't sure and trust me, eventually you won't care). In the later book, this cousin is nice and we are empathetic with her. In this book, I didn't care if she got killed or drowned on her way to Bermuda. In fact, I wouldn't have cared if the whole cast of characters had drowned on the way to Bermuda or been killed by the weird ghosts that the Tuttle siblings feed with blood from victims.
That's "ghosts" as in real ghosts, by the way.
My complaint is that the rest of the books in this series are mostly based in factual, believable actions. This book - I have no idea what happened with this book. Probably one of the worst plotted books I've ever tried to read. And that's sad, because a good Coulter FBI series book is a page-turner and a joy to read.

Not as shocking as the previous reviewer claims.......2006-05-05
After reading the previous reviewer's comments that this novel contains offensive language and casual sex, I paged through it, looking for examples. I couldn't find any sex, although there is definitely some clumsy flirting, and some affectionate brother-sister interaction. The main female character is married twice, the second time to a bad guy who drugs her and steals her artwork.
As far as swear words, they seem relatively mild and infrequent. When there's a fire, Lily thinks, "Dear God, the bed and breakfast was on fire!" I don't think the ordinary reader would be shocked by the writing. Bored perhaps, by the flat characters. But readers who like action and crime drama without much complexity will enjoy this book.
A thriller with offensive language and casual sex........2006-03-12
I love a good mystery. Ms. Coulter's plots will keep you turning the pages. However I became tired of constantly having to skip over all the offensive language. I have decided NOT to read any more of Catherine Coulter's books (I read 6) because I am offended by her use of God and Jesus as curse words. There are hundreds of other things her characters could say to show shock and anger. In Hemlock Bay sexual relations was treated with no more thought than where to eat lunch.

Squeezes every drop of tension out of its plot.......2006-01-26
Dead Weight examines the exotic world of horse racing from two basic perspectives, those of the rider and the fan.
The rider is Phil Nicholas, returning to racing mere months after a fall almost ended his career. To the casual observer, Phil exudes confidence. Despite his brave façade, however, Phil can't get the accident out of his head. Although few can sense the doubts inhibiting his performance, Phil realizes that he must purge himself of fear to continue racing.
The fan is Keith Jeffries. Abused as a child, Keith has grown into a dangerous young man who struggles with his darker side. Unfortunately for all concerned, that dark side, which Keith calls, "The Beast", has now emerged, intent on wreaking havoc to those in the racing world it perceives as having done him wrong. As his anger increases, so does the intensity of his attacks.
The buildup to a fateful meeting between the two forms the backbone of this fine book, as Francome provides his audience with telling insights into both his characters and the life of the stables and the track. Assembling a wide and varied cast from the world of horse racing, Francome provides telling glimpses into their personalities and pysches; readers will enjoy watching the cast being pushed to the limits of their mental and physical endurance as they struggle to cope with a world suddenly thrown out of kilter. Expertly paced to squeeze every drop of tension from its plot, Dead Weight's action and pathos make it a clear favorite.
A Whale of a Thriller.......2006-01-02
Steeplechase jockey Phil Nicholas is making a whale of a comeback after a fall that nearly killed him. He's married to a beautiful woman and he's riding a winner in Snowflake, a thirty-three to one long shot. One would think his comeback is complete when he passes January King to get to the winner's circle once again, but then there is Keith Jefferies, a nuttier that a fruitcake man sitting alone in front of his television who had bet the bank on January King, what he saw as a sure thing. Now Phil and Snowflake have snatched his money away.
This is a well plotted story that he me biting my nails as I read through it. There is plenty of steeplechase racing detail to satisfy the racing buff, there is a psycho killer to supply lots of chills, there is Julia, the beautiful wife who's a little loony (she talks to horses) and there is jump jockey Phil who is just a great protagonist. This is a suspense thriller that you won't be able to put down.
Review submitted by Captain Katie Osborne
fine INSIDE TRACK thriller.......2005-09-28
Three years ago, the brother of champion steeplechase jockey Phil Nicholas died in a show-jumping accident. That shook Phil, but he continued to perform as a top competitor until a few months ago when his steed May Queen leaped early; the horse walked way, but Phil suffered severe injuries to nerves in his back and three fractures on his left arm. Worse he still relives the nightmarish spill and as he is about to ride May Queen again now that he is physically healed, he wonders if he lost his nerve as mentally he still hurts. His fear costs him the victory as he hesitates just enough and worries if he does not find his courage will he lose his beloved wife Julie who treasures the sport as much as he once did.
Phil begins seeing a psychiatrist who "Jules" thinks is his lover until he explains his post traumatic stress syndrome problem. Suddenly Phil's racing troubles seem shallow when someone terrorizes the participants claiming wide spread cheating by jockeys and trainers. This villain starts off with assaulting people, but soon turns to kidnapping and murder. When Julia becomes a victim, a frightened outraged Phil knows he must find his courage to save the woman he loves.
Phil and his Jules make the tale as he struggles with his seemingly lost courage by seeing a psychiatrist while on the other hand the culprit comes out of the villain handbook as a stereotyped psycho. Still the steeplechase descriptions are clears wins that Dick Francis would appreciate and Phil's efforts to save Jules is fun to follow as John Francome provides anther INSIDE TRACK thriller.

Wonderful Book, Terrific Format.......2000-09-15
This book will be at tremendous help to any parent wondering if their child has any sort of speech problem. The book is organized well, broken down by the various sorts of speech problems, so it's quite easy for a lay person to focus on their concerns without having to wade through lots of irrelevant information. I came to the book with the same question: Does my child have a speech problem and this book helped me find the answer and led me to the help we needed. I strongly recommend this book for any parent with that same question. It will help you find your answer and help you see that you are not alone.
wonderful resource book for ALL parents of young children.......1999-11-05
Does My Child Have a Speech Problem is a terrific recource book for parents, as well as teachers. As both, I find myself referring to it often as my children and their language grow and develop. I am using it in the classroom to further assist my abilities in helping to identify and refer students to the Speech and Language Department. I highly recommend this book to all parents and teachers.
Great resource for all parents and educators!.......1999-11-04
Wonderful book! This book is a great resource for all parents, not just those concerned about a potential problem in their childs'speech development. Knowing the guidelines for normal speech and language development have reassured me about my childrens' speech patterns. Question and answer format is easy to read and understand. I would recommend this book to everyone!
Excellent resource that any parent or teacher must read!!!.......1999-03-05
This book is a great resource for all parents, whether their child has a speech concern or not. I really enjoyed the practical activities and helpful guidelines. I now know what to expect at different age levels and this book has allayed any concerns I might have about my child's speech or language. Great book!!

Detailed specifications—and current values from specialized experts—are provided for domestic and imported handguns, rifles, shotguns and commemorative firearms. Heavily illustrated.

Much more affordable and plentiful than pre-1900 collector-grade arms, many of these post-1900 guns are increasingly viewed as collectible, valuable assets.

great!.......2002-12-04
we are a firearms distributor in manila and have been on a lookout for a source book with as many guns with the corresponding details as possible. guess i found it right here in this book. it contains every bit you want to know about guns, except for the performance, where you wont obviously get in a book like this. anyway, its a great book overall, but it could have gotten five stars if it had more pages in color. most were in black and white. nevertheless, it has really helped our business a lot

How many sweaters can one girl wear?.......2007-06-07
WOW! This book is FULL of beautiful sweaters - I want to make every one. Some are pretty complex - so it's not a book for beginners. But I love a challenge - and the results have been gorgeous! And super thanks to the publisher for letting me look before I bought - that's so helpful!
Lovely sweaters, but many errors.......2006-06-09
I've knit three sweaters from this book and found errors in each pattern. This book would be very frustrating for a novice knitter to attempt to follow. More experienced knitters will probably be able to spot errors and correct for them. The sweater designs are nice though, some simple and some not so simple. The variety of designs is great too- from cardigans, to pullovers, and from cables to multi-color knitting. If you like classic sweaters there are bound to be a few in here that strike your fancy.
reprint of Knitting the New Classics.......2001-09-10
This book is a reprint of Knitting the New Classics with a different cover illustration & a different title. The original hardcover book was very nice with some interesting patterns, not great but very good. Why the change in title & cover picture? It seems to be the thing to do these days.
Somewhat confused.......1999-12-12
This book contains many beautiful sweaters. I picked one that really appealed to me and have been struggling ever since to make sense of the instructions. There are instructions that are hard to follow, as well as typos and errors. I recommend this book to experienced knitters who are able to figure things out for themselves.
Classic Elite's Newest Edition.......1999-11-30
I just wnat to say that KNITTING TODAY'S CLASSICS is a must have book. Aside from the beautiful and colorful patterns, this book has a very "user friendly" approach to knitting. The instructions are easy to follow, pattern sizes are detailed throughout and, there is something for every knitter's taste. Aran, Fair isle and Intarsia. A "must have" addition for one's knitting library!

Book Description
Here are forty authentic turn--of-the-century designs for the perfect home--for both city or farm. Floor plans included!
Today, old-fashioned homes in livable repair are more difficult to find and often sell at a premium. With inspiration from Village and Country Residences, it is still possible to build a beautiful, reliable home in the style of the stately original.
Written at the turn of the century by architect S. B. Reed, this book reflects the attention to detail and pride in construction of an era when homes were built to last. Here are dozens of designs selected by the author for their practicality, comfort, and economy-embracing almost every variety of arrangement and style. Each design is accompanied by a detailed description of its construction (including measurements and materials) and estimated cost. The browser will be charmed and amused to see that it cost only $1,100 to build a three-story home in 1878!
From the simplest one-bedroom cottage on a country lane to the most elegant Victorian townhouse, Village and Country Residences provides time-honored council on building the old-fashioned home of your dreams.
This book is part of a series of authentic Americana from the turn of the century, brought back to print by The Lyons Press. Other books in the series include Handy Farm Devices; Farm Appliances; Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties; and The Homestead Builder.

A veces con un relato crudo, reflejo fíel de la realidad de los pueblos Latinoamericanos, Renán comparte aquellos momentos que fueron forjando su espíritu de luchador indomable. En otros, nos revela tiernamente el lado más frágil del espíritu humano. Y en otros, con inocencia no libre de cierta culpa, nos cuenta las historias pícaras provocadas por la necesidad de la supervivencia. Las alegrías y tristezas, los fracasos temporales y los éxitos, los excesos y las angustias, se tejen milagrosamente dando forma a la historia amena de un niño inquieto y soñador que crece rodeado de la pobreza absoluta. Luego, Renán nos conduce con la alegría de siempre, por sus años jóvenes, los más pícaros. Sus inicios en la radio. La tragedia de alcoholismo y la dependencia de las drogas. Sus aventuras amorosas. Su llegada a los Estados Unidos y el duro camino al éxito. Renán comparte con sus lectores, a pecho descubierto, aquellos detalles que se esconden Det.ás del micrófono en el ambiente de la radio.

De nuestra carrera loca por evitar que nos alcance el fracaso.
